Ironworkers Local 33- Rochester, NY

An apprentice is an entry level position where the individual will be given tasks based on their abilities. The apprentice will learn from other union ironworkers to sharpen their skills daily. Apprentices will also attend the training program to further enhance the skills that they bring to the job site and become the best union ironworker that they can be.


Apprenticeship training provides individuals with the skills needed to compete economically and to work safely. Union members of the building and construction trades typically receive higher wages and better benefits than those employed by non-union contractors. Apprentice training is no-cost and you earn wages while you learn!

Some of the other many benefits of becoming an union ironworker include:



  • Health and dental insurance 

  • Pension 

  • Vacation fund

  • Annuity

  • Union pride
